Lee Sin Visualforce page Custom object Lookup field pre-populating
I have been analyzing this topic for quite a few days.
The problem I am now facing is:
I have a custom Object "Task_Flow_Manager" on Account Detail page .
On clicking 'new' button of "Task_Flow_Manager", I am directed to a bridge page for selecting record type.
After selecting the record type, I click "continue" button to be directed to the real page for creating new object of "Task_Flow_Manager"
On the page for creating "Task_Flow_Manager", I have quite a lot Lookup fields related to dates or User object to be populated.
A lot of solutions require URL hacking.
But I can not customize the 'new' button since it resides on a bridge page.
I also tried to set the value by using JavaScript "getelementByID", but somehow failed.
I am trying to create a Visualforce page myself and provide values to populate those Lookup fields
by using an Extension method.
However, I don't know how to give the "Apex:Inputfield" component a default value.

You can prepopulate the apex:inputField by prepopulating the record/parameter that it is connected to.
<apex:inputField value="taskFlowManager.Custom_Field__c" />
Now just set this record even if it's a new one and populate this field in the controller or extension
taskFlowManager.Custom_Field__c = 'some value';
I hope this helps already.
